Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 212: Those Two from the Shangjiang Team Must Not Be Let Off Lightly!
Xu Qinghuan smiled, "Dean Shao, I believe you should be able to anticipate the value of these two medicines of mine, right? You say, if by a slight mistake, this formula falls into the hands of some bad people, it doesn’t matter to me personally, but how great would the loss be to the country?"
At this stage, spies are quite rampant.
Shao Lizhong’s expression changed, and he laughed awkwardly.
Shen Xiuqin was very unhappy, "Dean Shao, it was Qinghuan who healed my son’s leg. I’ve discussed it with Old Huo, and we plan to adopt Qinghuan as our goddaughter. From now on, she will be my daughter in the Huo Family, so you guys can’t randomly make plans for her."
Xu Qinghuan was shocked inside, but her face remained calm, not letting Shao Lizhong notice anything.
"You misunderstand, I didn’t mean that, I... I’m just helping out with good intentions," Shao Lizhong quickly argued.
"Don’t think I don’t know what you guys are thinking. Old Huo told me that the success of Ah Zhui’s surgery was due to the ointment made by my goddaughter, and his quick recovery was also from the pills she made.
You’ve been given the ointment, and figuring out the formula is up to your skill. But if you want to get something for nothing, I’ll be the first to disagree."
"No, no, you misunderstand, how could we do such a disgraceful thing."
"It better be that way!"
Shao Lizhong wiped sweat from his forehead after Shen Xiuqin took the people away, and a female doctor who had been eavesdropping emerged, "Dean Shao, this woman won’t donate the formula?"
Shao Lizhong saw it was Ye Xiumei, the Lu Family’s second daughter-in-law, and didn’t hide the truth, "It’s not that easy. Although she’s given the ointment, this formula is very exquisite, and Old Xu is at a loss with it."
"Besides the ointment, we need to find a way to get the pill formula she gives to patients as well. Only by combining the two can we achieve such good results, which is a great boon to our front-line soldiers. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
If she doesn’t fear being accused of having problematic thoughts, then let her not donate the formula. If everyone thought like her, who would be willing to contribute to the country!"
Ye Xiumei was indignant, but Shao Lizhong remained calm, acknowledging the reasoning but understanding that if everyone didn’t ask for returns, the current status and power of the Lu Family wouldn’t exist.
"It’s not up to us to worry about this!" Shao Lizhong said as he left.
Ye Xiumei returned home at noon, where the aunt had already prepared the meals, and only the elderly lady of the Lu Family and Song Wanlin were present. The others were either at school or work.
The Lu Family doesn’t talk during meals, and after, the aunt brought out the fruit, prompting Ye Xiumei to casually ask, "Auntie, is your child working well?"
This aunt had been with the Lu Family for many years. The elderly lady was quite satisfied with her, especially after a recent incident where she nearly broke her leg trying to help the old lady.
The elderly lady appreciated her loyalty and asked Song Wanlin to arrange a job for her daughter.
The aunt mumbled for a long time without saying anything.
The elderly lady glanced at Song Wanlin unhappily, "Where did you get her arranged?"
Being a widow and remarried, Song Wanlin could never raise her head in the Lu Family, and whatever the elderly lady instructed, she diligently handled.
Before she could speak, the aunt quickly replied, "It’s not Comrade Song’s fault; it’s that my daughter is not diligent. Originally, she was doing well at the guesthouse but was fired after meeting a tricky person the other night."
"Fired?" The elderly lady chuckled, "Someone arranged by the Lu Family is fired? Who did she offend?"
The aunt said, "Someone from the countryside, a young man and woman, both quite young..."
Upon hearing this, Song Wanlin wondered if it was Xu Qinghuan and her companion, "Have you asked from where these two young people come?"
The aunt replied, "Shangjiang Team!"
"Shangjiang Team? Isn’t that where Nianying is staying? Song, have you recently called Nianying to ask how she’s doing and whether she’s adapted there? Don’t always focus on the child you had with your previous husband. If you hadn’t failed as a mother, Nianying wouldn’t have to suffer like this."
The elderly lady is traditional and doesn’t seem to have learned to respect, never calling her daughter-in-law by name.
Song Wanlin quickly stood up, feeling vexed but obediently replied, "Yes, mother!"
Old Zhang should arrive tomorrow afternoon, and he can visit Lu Nianying then.
"And those two young people from the countryside, knowing it’s a position arranged by the Lu Family, yet still being so arrogant, what kind of ungrateful country folk are they? Find out where they’re from and let them properly apologize to the auntie’s daughter. They should be educated and criticized, not let off lightly!"
The elderly lady was furious, finding it amusing that if everyone behaves this way, the Lu Family’s face would be lost.
Song Wanlin also bowed her head, "Yes, mother, rest assured, I will ensure they receive a proper lesson!"
Ye Xiumei remarked meaningfully, "Sister-in-law, you must not be soft-hearted!"
Song Wanlin glanced at her but said nothing, her smile not reaching her eyes. The two sisters-in-law never got along, and asking about work today might be intentional.
Xu Qinghuan supposedly had a serious illness that required treatment at the Army General Hospital, not all illnesses can be cured, so why fight against fate!
Song Wanlin felt a headache; she didn’t always disregard this daughter. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have insisted on holding onto the pension; if she didn’t care, Xu Lao Er’s family would surely take it, leaving Xu Qinghuan with nothing.
Her watchful eye kept Xu Lao Er’s family from abusing her.
In the end, she’s just a thankless child, like her father, heartless.
Thinking this, a fierce look flashed in Song Wanlin’s eyes; perhaps, it was time to teach her a lesson. The failures of those she sent to Phoenix Mountain and still not finding her forced her to be wary.
"Furthermore, Song, previously I asked you to find ways to interact more with the Jiang Family, and better relations meant best for everyone. How are you doing with that?"
The so-called better relations referred bluntly to marriage alliances.
Song Wanlin glanced at Ye Xiumei again, smiling, "Mother, originally I planned for Qinghuan to marry there, but the engagement has been canceled, mainly because something happened with the Jiang Family in Shen City. Even if someone else is considered, there’s no suitable candidate at the moment.
Previously, the Jiang Family sent word through someone, asking me to introduce a match for their eldest daughter who is graduating next year. How could I have anyone, Ming Xu is young, even if I’m willing, they wouldn’t accept."
Ye Xiumei gritted her teeth in anger, "Oh, after talking so long, sister-in-law has her eyes on my Jiabai and Jia Ran? Which one are you interested in, or are you taking both to the Jiang Family to let them choose?"
